Who (or what) do you love?: i love painting and defiance. i love trains and the environment that surrounds them. i love music and i love my families. that includes my friends and graffiti brothers...
Who and/or what are some of your influences?
everything that surrounds me is my influence, i think. in my life there were always cartoons and comics. and i love drawing ever since i can remember. when graffiti entered my life in '96 i started a journey through style development. i love doing lettering, the oldschool lisbon style and later the madrid style may have been some of my influences. the presence of an identity and a personality in someone's style is somethig that realy fascinates me. on a paralel course i've been making another identity based on a character, that started from a dog i once drawed as the letter c. i picked it up and started painting it alot, that was in ?99. that dog had the purpose to catch people's atention away from the "unreadable" pieces you could see in the city, because this was something they could easyly recognize. in that way i was very influenced by the work of Bol23 from rome and La Mano from barcelona
What other artists do you most admire?
i admire many artists who have defied the rules like picasso, dali, duchamp, early N.Y. scene pushers. also bob marley, peter tosh, beastie boys...
How would you describe your art to someone who could not see it?
i dont know... i would tell that person to listen to the sound of my voice and then picture it in some kind of shape that would translate the expression of my soul.
What other talent would most like to have?
i would like to be a computer hacker
What do you fear the most?
i fear becoming a zombie and i fear this world never finds it's course.
What is your greatest ambition?
to live a life full of good moments. to travel a lot.
